Amst is Ams on TFW2005. I recruited someone who was genuinely interested in the KO's. When he came over here, he already had 3 existing versions, and now will get an exclusive red foot for joining the par-tay.
We later discovered that Aaron (Amst) is the king around here. He has 30 of the largest rubber maid containers filled with toys. He even has doubles of the rare Dino cassettes ... est value, $500+ ea
Very kind introduction. Alas, I've since let go of one set of the Dinos. And yep, my collection is fairly complete, with the exception of a few Jap-exclusive Micromasters (haven't been motivated to look), campaign Minicons (can't keep track) and Lucky Draws (can never get them all, so why try?).

I'm strictly out-of-box though, so it pales in comparison to the Hartmans and Preto's collections. I have added some bizarro things, simply because I got bored - I'm most likely the only person in the world to have tracked down every known variation of every Playskool Gobot, for example.

I'm in Lincolnshire right now. I'm guessing they put you Marriott.
woooow ... small world. What company do you work for?
Hewitt Associates - and yep, always stay at the Marriott. I would seriously crap myself if we worked for the same company.

I need to get you the Galaxy Force set. It's the most epic, massive, jaw dropping anime series of all time. I'm not even limiting it to TF's, it's the best anime series of all time.
Absolutely 100% agreed.

She fucked with your guys' shipments. If mine came in perfect, yours should have also.




I'm willing to witness. If my shipment came in just fine, there is no reason yours should have.
Werd. I got my stuff packed pretty nicely with bubblewrap and everything. File a complaint big time.

well, I repaired 2 out of the 3 constructicons. It was such a clean break on the seal that it looks just fine now.

My issue is with Scrapper. That's beyond repair.

My other boxes have rashes and such all over them. I got everything for $535. Let's see if I can get that back.


Ham, our bug trade is off. There's no way I'd send you any of these. :sad:

I think me and Ham should coordinate eBay listings. BIN: $199.99 and not list the same figures.

for some reason ... i'm not ticked off.



honestly, I know I can make back my money. If I can break even with figures to spare, I don't feel bad.


If I sell 3 insecticons, I need to get $179 each (after paypal and eBay fees) ... then I'll be even.




I'll still have 2 MISB shrapnels and 2 MISB jumpstarters to auction off. Not to mention 3 MISB Constructicons, 2 MISB (reseal).


I have 1 trashed ... i dunno.

Indeed. Did you file a complaint yet or contact the hoe?

I'll post up pics of the junk in a bit.

I'm not pissed. That's the thing. As strange as it sounds, I know I can profit off of these and I think I'll just push my luck on eBay.


Think about it, BIN of $175 per bug ... damn.

How about this?




we remote sell a set?
You take your 1 kickback, you can take my bombshell and shrapnel ... we complete a sealed set and sell it. We split everything 3 ways ... I get 2 of the ways, you get 1. :dunno:

On a happy note ...


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=6041923046

2 reasons why I purchased this.

1. it looks to be in great shape and I always wanted one.
2. look at the bid history.
